NMR's low cost financing is possible because of the federal New Markets Tax Credit program. Since it received its first allocation of New Markets Tax Credits in 2005, NMR has made $34,000,000 of investments in downtown or near-downtown Oklahoma City.

In May of 2009 NMR was awarded a second allocation in the amount of $50,000,000 which it intends to invest in qualifying projects during 2009, 2010, and 2011.
